Let Them Alone,And Let Them Curse.Let Them Alone,And Let Them Throw Stones.

Who?

Whom did you say he was,

What did you say he speaks?

Let's stop here,

And listen closely. 

[Suddenly alarmed]

Guards! Raise your shields!

Cover the babies and protect the children!

Women, take cover!

Help out the elderly!

[Ensures everyone's safety]

Was anyone hit with a stone?

Are you all safe?

[Mutters to self]

Ugh, another righteous soul.

I have not the energy for this!

He who lives in me,

Did not come to condemn me.

[Yells Outs]

Pay him no attention, 

Press forward.

[Thinks to self]

You speak of Saul

As if he were a blameless Man.

Albeit, the Lord's anointed,

I have not raised a hand against him,

Why would he be avenged by The Lord?

Has he no soil on his garment?

Does he carry no sin before the Lord's eyes?

I hold my peace.

As for Absalom,

He stands in a category of his own.

Whether His decisions are right,

We'll soon see.

I am a man of blood.

Indeed, and I've received due consequence for spilling guitless blood.

[Overhears Abishai's words]

Hush now, don't be overzealous,

You son of Zeruiah.

Whether he be a dead dog,

I know not.

For it's not my place to judge, 

Let the Lord do His work son.

This matter is not one of your concerns,

What if it be the Lord who permitted this?

Do you try to hold back His hand?

Have you the might to refrain Him from executing His will?

Hold dear to your tongue, my son.

Lest you also become a vessel,

Or worse, A co-bearer of my cross.

If mine own son,

Pursues my head,

How much more the son of a strange woman?

Let Him be a vessel at this hour,

Grant him the freedom to speak as he so desires.

Who knows, 

The Lord may show pardon

And cast away this shadow.

We march own,

Simply protect the elderly, women, and children.
